60 Years of Scientific Excellence

When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.

Cancer Immunotherapy

The Next Great Advance in Cancer Treatment is Here

Cancer immunotherapy—treatments that harness and enhance the innate powers of the immune system to fight cancer—represents the most promising new cancer treatment approach since the development of the first chemotherapies in the late 1940s.

Because of the immune system’s extraordinary power, its capacity for memory, its exquisite specificity, and its central and universal role in human biology, these treatments have the potential to achieve complete, long-lasting remissions and cancer cures, with few or no side effects, and for any cancer patient, regardless of their cancer type.

For 60 years, Cancer Research Institute (CRI) has been the pioneer in advancing this highly promising new class of treatment. Because of this investment, cancer immunotherapy today is a highly active and exciting field, with unprecedented potential to deliver on the decades-long promise of discovering, developing, and delivering safe and effective treatments that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients fighting the disease.

Immunotherapy is an entirely new class of cancer treatment, with unique characteristics that differentiate it from other kinds of cancer therapies. Go here to learn more about cancer immunotherapy and some of the most promising immunotherapy approaches today.

Immunotherapy stands to revolutionize the treatment of almost every kind of cancer. Go here to learn about why immune-based treatments are so promising for many cancer types and how they are impacting cancer treatment today.

Clinical trials are necessary to bring new and potentially life-saving treatments to patients, and may represent the greatest hope for patients currently facing cancer. Go here to learn more about cancer immunotherapy clinical trials and what to consider about enrolling.
